Don't wait for me!
I'd rather have results than lights going out and a kick in the balls (that's entertainment)
Before the kick off I hope to be entertained, regardless of the result.
But after the final whistle I'm happy to get the result, regardless of the entertainment.
As long as I get one or the other for most matches, I'm happy to keep renewing my season ticket.
Any event with a paying audience MUST be expecting to provide entertainment first and foremost, shirley?
This seems more logical to me.
Playing Devil's advocate for a moment.
For all those that claim it's only the result that counts, why do you pay your hard earned money to watch 90+ of action BEFORE the points are finally awarded?
If it truly was only about the result and there was no entertainment on offer, can't help thinking not many would turn up to watch.

If you support a club then it's the result every time. If you aren't worried about the result and want to be entertained then go to a neutral match.
I'm saying he was lucky to get away with it on Friday. Easy to use the benefit of hindsight and massage it into something it wasn't, but if Brentford had scored earlydoors second half, there's be a whole different set of threads criticising, if not crucifying, the manager for sitting back on a two goal lead. FACT.
I think that is my view. Out of 3 of home defeats . I was always cheesed of with result but In 2 of them I felt after going behind we gave it everything and were unlucky. In third game we were outplayed. It made defeats easier to accept when I thought each game was entertaining. Unlike last year when so often we never looked liked scoringBefore the kick off I hope to be entertained, regardless of the result.

Because we gormlessly sat back in the second half and invited Brentford to score. If they'd been any cop, they would have done so. It would then have been Albion panic stations, and we'd have been lucky to cling on to a 2-2. Try watching what you're seeing. Albion second half was in the main pathetic aimless hoofball to the sickly kid up front.
Of course I'm sure they would have but it could just as well have gone to 2-1 and Hughton would have no doubt tweaked it again, Crofts/Sidwell might not have been his 2 remaining subs and the threads could have been about how we kicked on second half despite conceding early.
There was NOTHING in that second half that suggested if we'd conceded a first, we wouldn't have conceded a second. We can all argue about it forevermore but in the end we were reduced to hoofing it hopefully/pathetically to the single sickly boy up front. Just won't do in the grand scheme of things, even if we did win 3-0 on the night.

Just to put another view than the popular view here.
Mike Baily achieved the highest position ever in the history of the club, but because the style of play was not seen as entertaining enough, and attendances were dropping he was given the boot shortly afterwards.
